How to Position Yourself for Great Opportunities

In my business journey I have met two kinds of people. ‘The Hopefuls’ and ‘The Players’. We know that the hopeful ones are normally constantly seeking opportunities like bargain hunting and does this regularly. It’s alright to hunt and look for the best deals. But it’s also another thing to position oneself for great opportunities and then profiting from them.

If for anything I’d say skeptics make most of the hopeful group, sometimes they see a great opportunity but due to certain lack of attributes, they then fail to take advantage of this great opportunity. However, I’ll be talking about ‘The Players’ today.

This group is called ‘The Players’ because they know the rules of the game in opportunities and play them right when presented with a great one. They’re also risk takers and constantly profits because their mentality of the potential rewards greatly overshadows the risk involved. Here are the distinct qualities that ‘The Players’ have.

Calculated Risk.

I have seen too many people getting all excited about 4D or lottery winning potentials and goes out to buy one. As much as I’d like to say that it’s an opportunity, in fact it isn’t. You’re better off making your own due diligence in wise business decisions on whether the rewards are greater than the risk. That said, don’t be paralyzed by fear. Overcome it with your homework.

Manage Your Resources.

We all have our own savings accounts which are “to be kept for a rainy day”. Honestly, I had this mentality too and it became a cycle. Save, spend and then save again. How ironic, right? A wise option is to allocate a certain percentage for investments or business capital startups. When a great opportunity presents itself, you have the power to decide to take it or not.

Actively Watch Out For Opportunities.

In today’s world, you’re better off applying yourself by first making a short study (don’t do complex scientific research on each and every opportunity!) for a few opportunities. This is to both help you sharpen your business or investment decisions and skills; plus you’ll be already one step ahead of thousands of others.

Apart from having these valuable attributes in your character. I’d like to highlight one very simple truth.

“Hang with chickens and you’ll peck like one. Hang with eagles and you will soar like one!”

So, make the decision today to put yourself in good company. Choose like-minded friends in this awesome journey to financial freedom. I assure you that you will not only get indirect coaching but also a good bunch of mentors around to point you in the right direction always.

P.S. : Team, you're in good hands! I'm your mentor.

Does Great Opportunities Come Every Weekend?

Why are we always in search of opportunities each weekend? Perhaps it’s something which drives us to do this in a subconscious way. Go ahead, call anyone, be it your friends, family or relatives and ask them during a weekday “hey, so what’re you doing?” often, the answer would be “I’m working” or “I’m busy”.

You see, we naturally think that there’s always time. Then, when the weekend arrives we get active because we have ‘free time’. The first advice for you is, don’t take time for granted.

You may have heard this cliché “an opportunity comes every weekend.” I say “that’s a pack of horse manure”. Why? Well, my friend I’m going to dispel the whole truth to you. Sure, an opportunity does come every weekend whether you search it out or not. The fact is great opportunities are very, very rare.

Okay, so you’re skeptical, staring at me straight in the eyeballs. All you need is a good eye and a nice knowledge to spot one. Well, yes and no. Those are the technical part of the equation. You’d easily pick that up in any business opportunity seminar somewhere out there. Just pay $XXX amount of dollars and ‘poof’, you’ve got the knowledge.

Actually, I’m going to talk about your internal wiring. The very core of your belief system. Your mindset.

Take for example; a great opportunity comes along and I mean there’s a real pile of cash ready to be made. We could observe two typical groups of behavior. I’ll classify them here for you in a few simple paragraphs. The first one is The Hopefuls. These are if not the most common and widely circulating around today. I was one of them. So, it’s normal yet very mundane.

The hopeful is an individual which has these thoughts running through in their minds when they are presented with a great opportunity. Notice, I said great not average.

Fear of risk.

Usually, it’s not the fear of making money that’s stops us in our tracks. It’s the fear of losing it. I’ve been asking this forever when I first started out in my business. Fortunately, I was so sick and tired of being average that I had nothing to lose because I was going to spend my money anyway. Why not spend it for a chance to be successful?

Lack of money.

It’s pretty much to the point here. Countless of times, when I had an opportunity whether it be a new business venture or a chance for a really lucrative investment. But I just didn’t have the capital to put it in. How awful indeed! So near and yet so far. The only thing I had at the end of the day was the regret that I’d not set aside an amount for opportune times like these.

Lack of knowledge.

A baby didn’t know how to walk until he kept practicing and trying to get up after each fall. I would say the most important is the application of that knowledge. If you read so much stuff but never applied it. You’d have missed every other opportunity anyway. An experienced eye is far better than a trained one. My principle was always to read only 1 item and apply it to see if it works.

Then, move on...

In my next article, I’ll describe how to correctly gear ourselves for prospering in great opportunities.

Stay Tuned.

The Rich, The Affluent And The Ones With No Money

Why is it that you're not wealthy? Perhaps it's because you are not taking chance of the opportunities that exist in the marketplace.

As a matter of fact, there are numerous opportunities in store for the intelligent entrepreneurs who target the affluent, the offspring of the affluent, and the widows and widowers of the affluent.

In most cases, these masterminds who target the affluent become affluent in their own rights.

At the opposite end of the table, many people including business owners, self-employed individuals, sales executives, and even some salaried workers never produce high incomes.

Perhaps it's because their clients and customers have little or no money!

But, you will respond in fashion, it's really much easier for me to target my peers whom I can relate with because they buy big luxurious cars and I can see their wealth. I decide to take a moment to truly plant in you a seed of understanding on why they are poor themselves. They mainly use debt to finance the lifestyle they want thereby what you see is really a surface of their wealth.

Statistics shows that on average, the rich have an annual realized income less than 7 percent of their wealth. In other words, they live on less than 7 percent of their wealth. Here we can clearly define the fine line between the affluent and the non-affluent.

Simply put, the affluent are a collection of people who are conscious consumers and not "huge spenders". Now, why would we want to target those who are not "huge spenders"? At this point, we already know that the affluent are not "huge spenders" themselves. Why focus on the population who are most aware to the price changes to products and services?

However, I'm going to give you a tip here and you can bring it to the bank! Is that they are not especially price sensitive when it comes to paying for investment advice and services, educational products, accounting services, tax consultancy, medical plus dental care for themselves not forgetting family members, legal services, and homes.

At this point, I really want to emphasize the items advisory services and educational products here. This is obviously the growing trend of the booming economy globally given the fact that America will also continue to see an increase in education expenditure. Here's a flashback from the deep recesses of my mind;

"One fine Sunday Morning in church, my pastor here in Singapore told a truly inspiring illustration so vividly of telling the power of focus; by focusing many small intense light sources on a single spot, the energy is turned into a laser beam which can remove cataracts from the eyes, eliminate kidney stones and even neutralize cancer cells!"

If we apply this theory to our business, by focusing all our energies in one spot, we should be able to remove "cancers" like distractions and obstacles to success. Is focus the key to building up an empire? Do empires crumble due to the lack of focus on the core business?

Take a guess....

Take The Lead

Just this afternoon I watched yet another great movie (with my fiance, of course!) entitled "take the lead" and it stars spanish actor Antonio Banderas. For many of you this film will definitely ring a familiar tone when you see the title.

It speaks of a high spirited and confident ballroom dancing instructor and mentor Pierre who has an established studio of his own. On the other side of the neighbourhood a troubled principal of a gangster prone school faces a dilemma of notorious kids being put in detention due to their bad behaviours everyday after school.

One night...

Mr. Pierre was minding his business when he noticed a student of the school bashing the principal's car with a gold club. When the student came to his senses Pierre had not been able to get more answers on why he did that. But he sensed the youths had a need.

The next day, he went to the principals office and said "I'd like to help"... and help it was getting down and dirty trying to teach these notorious kids (who listens to punk rock rap music) the polite and graceful ballroom dances.

You basically can imagine it from there.

What really inspired me was how Pierre handled the bunch of kids and how he encouraged them to go on despite all odds.

Here's the line that was the moment in the film...

"I know that you'll be competing with pro's in this competition (who have been dancing for years). But this is where we come in. They expect nothing from us, nothing. That's why we're going to SHOW UP and kick some a**"

We know that in a sea of internet baloney and opportunities out there plus all those super professional marketing strategies marketers achieve. But here's one thing that I can catch from the spoken word of Mr. Pierre - my interpretation :

"If you can master the fundamentals, you're going to suprise everyone in your own style someday"

That's a fact. Nothing plainer than the truth, my friend.

See you in my upcoming video tutorial. (Of course, I'll be your instructor if you let me)

Hey, Don't Forget To Balance Your Life!

How're you doing today ? Perhaps you had a great weekend, perhaps you had been working on that long forgotten project or just doing your routine stuff on your business. Here's what I did today :

1. Had spent my saturday just hanging out with my fiance having breakfast, then went to do some shopping (for her shoes... "ladies never seem to have enough shoes") in the afternoon. Watched a movie that day "Tokyo Drift". Pretty cool. Retired the night early for waking up early the next day. Okay, early meant 2am ! I spent my time writing my last post. Eyes tired... ;)

2. On Sunday I was in church in the morning for the service which is today. It's important to equally balance out not only your emotional and physical life but as well on the spiritual aspect. I love God and can't imagine being without His help in my life!

3. After a nice lunch I watched another movie with my fiance again. At this point in time, you'd know that we both absolutely "LOVE" to watch movies.

Now, here I am pounding away at my laptop again on this latest post.

Why am I telling you this ?

The point here is not to boast or just brag about how 'nice' my weekend was but it is absolutely, most imperatively important that you allocate and spend quality time with your loved ones or those who are close to you... on a regular basis.

If you've not done so lately, drop what you're doing right now and give that person or group a call and tell them "Hi, I just wanted to catch up with you to get to know how're you doing lately"

My reason for doing this is simple and it would apply to you too. What you'll get in return :

1. Your life will be much fuller than just being a Internet Marketing junkie.

2. You will have people who will support and cheer you on when you're down.

3. Your network will not just be a large one, but more importantly a strong one.

So, that said get up and talk to someone today. Be nice and kind.

You'll see the joy in doing that soon enough!

God Bless.
